     Title: ROMAINE LETTUCE WITH OYSTER SAUCE
Categories: Chinese, Salads
     Yield: 4 servings

     1    Head romaine lettuce
   1/4 ts Salt
     2 tb Peanut oil
     1 tb Premium oyster sauce

 We decided on romaine lettuce for this dish because it
 is crisp textured, and readily available.

 Preparation:  Wash & remove core from lettuce.
 Combine oil & oyster sauce in small sauce pan; bring
 to simmer; keep hot until ready to serve.

 Blanching: Heat about 2 gallons water in large pot.
 We use bottom of aluminum steamer.  Add salt.  When
 water reaches rolling boil, blanch lettuce for about
 20 seconds - until leaves are bright green.

 Remove leaves, shake off excess water.  Stack leaves &
 cut cross-wise into 4 parts.  Use cleaver to place
 leaves on serving platter.  Pour hot oyster sauce on
 leaves.  Serve.
